Di-Ard
So what is it?
Di-Ard is a biodegradable quaternary ammonium compound (9.2% dialkyldimethyl ammonium chloride) - this basically means it is a water based concentrate which is used to kill algae, mosses, lichen, wood rotting fungi and moulds on external hard surfaces. It can also be used as a wood preservative.
How does it work?
Di-Ard is simply diluted with the recommended rate of water and sprayed or washed over the affected area.
No rinsing, scrubbing or powerwashing is required - just leave the product to work its magic.
Di-Ard is readily bio-degradable and non bio-accumulating. Once the treated area has dried the surface is safe for animals, pets and children. Di-Ard is also safe to treated surfaces and has NO staining properties.
Where can it be used?
Di-Ard can be used on external hard surfaces and because it contains no abrasive properties in can be used on delicate surfaces that powerwashing may damage.
Di-Ard can be used to treat:
- roofs
- walls
- patios
- driveways
- tennis courts
- car parks
- greenhouses/conservatories
- thatch
- metal
- caravans
- boats
